Storage

This domain covers Oracle Cloud Infrastructure storage services: Block Volume, Object Storage, File Storage, and data transfer options. Questions test default encryption behavior, bucket tiering and lifecycle policies, mount target and subnet requirements, performance tiers, and when to choose physical transfer appliances versus online replication. Expect scenario-based selection plus direct recall of service characteristics.

What this domain covers

What to know about Storage

Be able to pick the right OCI storage service for a scenario and state its defaults. The single most important thing: know that Object Storage encrypts every bucket by default with Oracle-managed keys, and that File Storage requires a mount target in a subnet.

Object Storage default encryption using Oracle-managed AES-256 keys, plus optional customer-managed Vault keys

Block Volume performance tiers, volume backups, clones, and cross-region replication behavior

File Storage Service mount targets, NFSv3 exports, subnet placement, and security rules

Data transfer choices including Data Transfer Appliance, Storage Gateway, and rsync or object sync

Watch out for

Common Storage exam traps

  • ▸Assuming Object Storage buckets require manual encryption setup; encryption is enabled by default and cannot be turned off.
  • ▸Forgetting a File Storage mount target needs a subnet and that clients must reach it over the network with correct security rules.
  • ▸Confusing Block Volume replication with Object Storage replication, or mixing up archive tier retrieval delays with standard tier access.

1

An administrator is managing an OCI File Storage Service file system and notices that storage consumption has grown significantly. They want to identify which directories and users are consuming the most space. How can this be accomplished?

Hard
2

Which THREE storage options can be used with OCI Compute instances?

Easy
3

A media company stores millions of video files in an OCI Object Storage bucket. The files are accessed frequently for the first 30 days after upload, then rarely accessed but must remain immediately available for 90 days. After 90 days, the files are archived for compliance and can tolerate hours of retrieval latency. The storage administrator needs to minimize storage costs while meeting these access patterns. What should the administrator do?

Easy
33

An organization requires that all data uploaded to an Object Storage bucket must be automatically encrypted using a master encryption key managed by them in OCI Key Management (KMS), rather than Oracle-managed keys. How can this be enforced?
